Meenakshi Moorthy, 30, and her husband, Vishnu Viswanath, 29, fell to their deaths on Wednesday from Taft Point, which offers stunning views of Yosemite Valley, Yosemite Falls and El Capitan — a scenic area made even more popular after another couple was photographed during an apparent marriage proposal.

The doomed pair were identified Monday by Yosemite National Park officials, who were still trying to determine how the daredevil couple plummeted to the valley floor, the Mercury News reports.

“We still don’t have any clear idea exactly what happened,” park spokeswoman Jamie Richards told the newspaper. “We are still trying to piece it together.”

The couple — who married four years ago at a temple in India, according to the Associated Press — billed themselves as a “dream doer duo” who traveled the world documenting their trips to locales like the Grand Canyon, Paris, New York City, Niagara Falls, London, Big Sur and other scenic destinations.

“Diagnosed with the ‘curious case of interminable travel bug’ and a huge believer of ‘happily-ever-afters,’ we share with y’all our holiday escapades, travel hacks, tips (and quips!),” read a description of the couple’s blog, “Holidays & Happily Ever Afters.” “I will be also shining my pink light of positivity from time to time, on what can get use close to the ever elusive ‘happily-ever-afters,’ or whatever that sh-t means.”

The couple also maintained a visually stunning Instagram account — followed by more than 13,000 people — that tracked their travels around the world. In one post from March, Moorthy was photographed as she watched a sunset in the Grand Canyon’s North Rim, where she eerily foreshadowed the dangers of “standing at the edge of cliffs,” according to the post.

“A lot of us including yours truly is a fan of daredevilry attempts of standing at the edge of cliffs and skyscrapers but did you know that wind gusts can be FATAL???” Moorthy wrote. “Is our life just worth one photo?”

Moorthy, who wore a jacket emblazoned with the words “Sunset Chaser,” warned her followers about the need to “have boundaries” in life.

“This is handy as life lessons too but we will revisit that later,” she wrote.

In another post, the couple gave a nod to their Indian roots, noting while visiting the White Sands National Monument in New Mexico in February that they had watched “a lot of Bollywood” films as children.

Back in April 2017, the couple took a selfie in New York City’s Times Square, where a pink-haired Moorthy beamed with glee as taxis huddled closely behind them. Moorthy apparently enjoyed a close relationship with the blog’s followers and interacted with many directly.

“Each and every single comment and conversation we share with all of you undeniably makes us a helluva happy bunny,” she wrote.

The bodies of the couple were found about 800 feet down a steep cliff from Taft Point. Their bodies were recovered a day later by rangers, who worked for hours to reach them with assistance from a California Highway Patrol helicopter.

Investigators have notified the couple’s relatives in India, Richards told the newspaper.

Viswanath, described as a “very forgiving and patient man” on the couple’s blog, had worked as a software engineer at Cisco since July. Company officials confirmed his death “with great sadness” to the newspaper in a statement.

“As always, we will pull together to extend our support to the employee’s family and our fellow colleagues during this difficult time,” the statement read.

Park officials, meanwhile, have no plans to install additional railings along the high cliffs above Yosemite Valley.

“We are continuing to investigate what happened in this tragic accident,” Richards told the newspaper. “When you come to a place like Yosemite National Park and you go to places with majestic scenic views, there is an inherent level of personal risk.”
